This legislation represents an important step forward in strengthening our nation’s cybersecurity capabilities and leveraging the National Guard to fulfill the critical need for highly skilled personnel. The National Guard serves as a unique resource in the nation’s defense by supporting both federal and state governments in protecting our citizens at home and abroad. Across the country, National Guard units have begun developing cybersecurity capabilities that could be utilized to conduct vulnerability assessments, test information technology systems, enhance cyber resiliency and respond to cyber incidents when they occur. The Cyber Warrior Act of 2013 recognizes the National Guard’s ability to attract and retain individuals with critical information technology skills necessary to meet dynamic cybersecurity threats facing the nation. Governors agree with the legislation’s objectives of further clarifying and strengthening the role of the National Guard within the Department of Defense (DoD) and building a coordinated cybersecurity response capability that could be utilized under state or federal authorities. Governors are actively engaged through the Council of Governors with DoD and the Department of Homeland Security in exploring these and other opportunities to cost-effectively fill a critical need for highly trained cybersecurity personnel. Thank you for your leadership on this important issue. We look forward to working with you to further these efforts. Sincerely, Governor Martin O’Malley Chair, Health & Homeland Security Committee Co-Chair, Council of Governors Governor Brian Sandoval Vice Chair Health & Homeland Security Committee Governor Terry E. Branstad Co-Chair Council of Governors .

Our members informed the creation of PCORI, have served in its leadership, and have received funding support. Our members also have extensive experience in the federal health research ecosystem and value PCORI’s unique contributions to the evidence to improve patient outcomes. We therefore recognize how important it is for Congress to act now to reauthorize PCORI. It must have stable, predictable funding to ensure that the important patient-centered outcomes research and comparative effectiveness research it supports will continue without interruption. AcademyHealth strongly supports the discussion draft, including the modifications to PCORI’s authorizing statute that reflect many of our reauthorization principles, and offers the following comments: Support for a 10-Year Reauthorization of PCORI and Its Current Funding Mechanism PCORI and its Trust Fund were established to provide, stable, predictable funding for patient- centered outcomes research and comparative effectiveness research, as well as the dissemination of that research.

To: Senator Mark Warner, Senator Tim Kaine, Congressman Ben Cline, Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton CC: Governor Ralph Northam, Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine, Staunton District CTB Member Dixon Whitworth From: Kate Wofford, Executive Director, Alliance for the Shenandoah Valley Keven Walker, Chief Executive Office, Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation 9386 South Congress Street, New Market VA 22844 Date: April 17, 2020 RE: Targeted Approach to Possible Interstate 81 Funds in Federal Infrastructure Package We understand that leaders in Congress and the Administration are in discussion about a possible infrastructure bill as part of the federal response to COVID 19 impacts, as well as possible reauthorization of the federal surface transportation law. We expect that you are receiving a number of requests from localities, constituents, interest groups, and others seeking infrastructure funds for priority projects. We are writing to urge a targeted and well-considered approach to any federal funding for transportation projects in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, particularly any funding for projects involving Interstate 81. The I-81 corridor in Virginia can certainly use improvements, and it has been a focus of concern for local and regional travelers for many years. In the past 15 years, there have been a wide range of proposals to address these concerns—some have been simply awful, while others have been fairly good. The awful ones call for extensive, excessive widening of I-81 regardless of the cost to taxpayers, transportation needs, or impacts on communities, health, and natural and historic resources. Among other things, overbuilding on I-81 would degrade the rural character of the corridor— damaging historic resources and streams and destroying productive farmland, homes and businesses.

July 26, 2017 The Honorable Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader United States Senate 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Charles E. Schumer, Minority Leader United States Senate 322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer: As the Senate debates the House-passed American Health Care Act (H.R. 1628), we urge you to set aside this flawed bill and work with governors, both Democrats and Republicans, on solutions that will make health care more available and affordable for every American. True, lasting reforms can only be achieved in an open, bipartisan fashion. We agree with Senator John McCain that the Senate should “return to regular order,” working across the aisle to “provide workable solutions to problems Americans are struggling with today.” Congress should be working to make health insurance more affordable while stabilizing the health insurance market, but this bill and similar proposals won’t accomplish these goals. The bill still threatens coverage for millions of hardworking, middle class Americans. The bill's Medicaid provisions shift costs to states and fail to provide the necessary resources to ensure that no one is left out, including the working poor or those suffering from mental illness or addiction. The Senate should also reject efforts to amend the bill into a "skinny repeal," which is expected to accelerate health plans leaving the individual market, increase premiums, and result in fewer Americans having access to coverage. Instead, we ask senators to work with governors on solutions to problems we can all agree on: fixing our unstable insurance markets.

RR Congressional Response Dec1
1 COVID-19 Congressional Response December 1, 2020 This morning, a bipartisan group of Senators released a COVID-19 aid framework with the goal of restarting stalled negotiations. The group included Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mark Warner (D-VA), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Angus King (I-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and members from the bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus. The framework totals $908 billion and includes the following highlights: • $180 billion in additional unemployment insurance, including an extra $300 a week federal benefit for 18 weeks; • $160 billion for state, local and tribal governments; • $288 billion for small business aid programs like the Paycheck Protection Program; • $16 billion for testing, tracing, vaccine development and distribution; • $45 billion for airlines and mass transit; • extension of student loan payment deferrals and rental housing assistance and; • a liability provision to provide short term Federal protection from Coronavirus related lawsuits with the purpose of giving states time to develop their own response. The bill repurposes $560 billion in CARES Act funding and $348 billion is new money. The price tag is intentionally half of the $1.8 trillion White House offer and much less than Speaker Pelosi’s $2 trillion top line number. Leadership from neither chamber nor party has voiced support for the framework. The proposal has been compared to a similar framework released by the House Problem Solvers Caucus back in September, which led to no progress. Without support from congressional leaders or the White House, the path forward for today’s framework is uncertain.
